BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS

REVOLUTIONISE COST SAVINGS AND CARBON REDUCTION SUPPORT FOR YOUR MEMBERS

We understand the unique pressures facing BIDs today. You're expected to justify every levy pound to your members and provide a return on investment to stakeholders - all with limited internal resources.

That's why we've created the Green ToolBox - an innovative, digital platform specifically designed for BIDs and their members.  It helps your members save money, engage with sustainability at their own pace and strengthens your position ahead of re-ballots.

Empowering BIDs: The Green ToolBox

Challenges BIDs Face

Through our work with BIDs, we’ve identified some common challenges:

  • Providing impactful and measurable cost savings projects for members

  • Limited internal resource capacity and budget to run on-going BID wide projects

  • Pressure to demonstrate clear ROI to stakeholders

  • Difficulty sustaining member engagement

  • Members want support and practical insights at their own pace, without sales or pressure

  • Ballot cycles and pressure for measurable impact to secure future support 

  • Expectations around sustainability and ESG are rising fast

  • Members have diverse needs — one solution rarely fits all

  • Members expect sleek digital tools, quick insights and data-driven results 

We’d love to partner with you to address these challenges — and deliver real value to your BID and your members.

    Grant Support

    Multiple support opportunities are available for members, especially at these current times. However it is difficult to identify what is out there and what is appropriate for different business types.

    We monitor funding applications that have been granted across the UK and align with councils, LEPs and Growth Hubs to ensure that opportunities are identified and presented to BID members.

    We have become somewhat experts in supporting businesses in successful grant applications, most certainly a skill in itself.

    Right First Time – Supporting New Businesses and Startups

    There is a natural churn rate of businesses entering and leaving the BID. We work with high street banks in the application of green loans and we extend this relationship to support new businesses starting up, to ensure that they get their contracts set up correctly first time. We have a history of having to sort issues where new contracts have been put in place incorrectly, so we aim to prevent with this intervention.

    We also align with your local commercial estate agents to ensure that we do the same with businesses setting up in the BID and needing to establish new contracts fro their new premises.

    We promote the BID brand and services and ensure that every business is aware of that all support, advice and servcies is due to their BID membership.
